Chapter 2142 - 2144: Preparing to Go to Yunchuan

By the time the carrier pigeon reached the Capital City, twenty days had already passed.

As soon as Mu Shaoling got the news, he left the Capital City while simultaneously sending a message to Ye Zi’an.

Zhejiang Prefecture

Ye Zi’an was still investigating the matters in Zhejiang Prefecture City; however, the trail was deeply hidden and progress was slow.

Meanwhile, there wasn’t much movement on Yangyang’s side, either.

At first, Yang Chuxia still had the spirits to stroll around, but she soon lost all interest.

Even Lele felt the same; the mother and daughter duo were mainly there for Yangyang, unlike Ye Zi’an who had a different purpose.

"Madam, there’s news about the young master!"

One day, while Yang Chuxia was tinkering with crafts she’d bought with Lele in the small courtyard she purchased, Ye Yi entered holding a letter.

"Really?" Upon hearing news about Yangyang, the mother and daughter immediately gathered around, "Quick, let me see!"

Moments later, Yang Chuxia stuffed the letter into Lele’s arms and went inside to pack.

She had to rush to Yunchuan; there was no mistake, the letter mentioned a remarkable child appearing in the Yunchuan area. From the description, she instinctively felt that child must be Yangyang.

Her Yangyang was just like her in doing things—very rash!

When Ye Zi’an returned, Yang Chuxia immediately informed him of the situation.

"Why not wait a few more days? Things here will wrap up soon, and we can go to Yunchuan together?"

"Impossible, things are changing too quickly. Every day’s delay brings more uncertainty. This letter took at least half a month to reach Zhejiang, and who knows what has happened in the meantime. We don’t even know if Yangyang is still in Yunchuan; I must go immediately."

Yang Chuxia added, "Let me handle the search for Yangyang; from now on, I’ll take responsibility for Yangyang’s matters, and you focus on the court affairs. This way, you won’t be stretched thin and can complete the Emperor’s tasks earlier."

"Father, I want to go with Mother to Yunchuan. I want to find my brother," Lele chimed in appropriately.

"Are you two planning to abandon me here?" Ye Zi’an said helplessly, "Can’t you even wait a few days?"

"Yunchuan used to have many bandits, although Linhao had dealt with quite a few, there might still be some leftovers. How can I be at ease with you two going there?" Ye Zi’an was reluctant, "Yangyang hasn’t been found yet, what if something happens to you two?"

"Don’t worry, you know my skills. How could I easily get into trouble?" Yang Chuxia said, hugging his arm, "Besides, we won’t be going alone; we have guards. Rest assured, we’ll wait for you in Yunchuan."

Once Yang Chuxia made up her mind, it was hard for Ye Zi’an to change it. He could only think about preparing more people for her.

"Once you get to Yunchuan, whether you find Yangyang or not, don’t wander around. Wait to reunite with me."

"Rest assured, we’ll wait for you."

Everything was ready, and Ye Zi’an’s people were in place, but Yang Chuxia had not yet left.

Because early that morning, there was a knock at the gate of their small courtyard.

When the guards opened the door, a young girl rushed in from outside.

"Lord Ye, Madam Ye, please save us, please save our young lady!"

Yang Chuxia, holding a bundle and leading Lele, was about to leave when she heard the piercing cry as they stepped out the door.

"What’s going on?"
